Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

My daughter is 16months old and LOVES her playhouse. She will play in her house for a very long time. She opens and closes the windows, washes dishes in the sink, talks on the phone, sweeps her porch, puts mail in her mailbox. She is so happy with her playhouse. Any one looking for a playhouse, this is the one! We love this product so much!!

I bought this for my 2 years old daughter and I added a little chair and baskets of "fake" food and pans. She just loves to pretend she is the host of her own home!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

Another wonderful product from Step 2! Let me start off by saying that this house is WAY bigger than everyone says it is. My 17 month old daughter and 21 month old nephew fit just fine inside the house as well as outside the house. This playhouse is absolutely adorable and a must have for our back yard! Way to go Step 2!!!!!

This was the easiest playhouse to put together. My 3 year old daughter has hours of fun in it. She lover the phone, mail slot and door bell. I'm 6'2 and i squeeze in the house just fine. This is for little kids, not older kids. You will not beable to fit more than 2-3 kids in the house at one time.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

This was a gift for my three and one year old girls. This house is cute but way to small for the both of them, they can't even stretch out in it or put anything in there due to lack of space. My oldest likes to climb on top and my baby likes to ring the doorbell. Also my oldest was upset when her play dishes didn't fit in the sink. Other than that this house is boring and I don't see this house will get much use. This house is perfect for one small child.Later on I will invest in the larger one.

Way Toooo Small, Wish I didnot purchase!
By Love being a Mom from Maryville, TN on 1/8/2008

Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

This is a cute concept but there is no room on the inside of the house. My daughter is three and there is not much room for more than one child inside. I bought her a [$]play hut and put her kitchen and table inside and she plays with it and never goes inside the playhouse. I would not purchase again if I had of known what I know now. The price is not cheap, I would go ahead and invest a little more money and buy a bigger playhouse they can enjoy longer. She will only get about a year of play if that out of this playhouse. I would suggest this for a baby tht is just learning to stand alone. Roof did not line up well making assembly tough.Took both my husband and myself to assemble.

cute little playhouse.. but a bit small

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

We have had this playhouse for a few months now.. our daughter is 18 months old. She really likes it.. and it's just her. I don't think she could ever play in it with other children and chairs and such probably couldn't fit in there.. but I don't want her to put stuff outside in it anyway. She LOVES the doorbell. She says "ding dong" and runs to her playhouse and pushes the button. It's a really nice looking playhouse that matches the naturally playful swingset and clubhouse we have. I wouldn't recommend this for parents with more than 1 small child that will want to play in it too.. this is better for 1 small child. Also.. you have to buy that flooring kit to go with it which is a bit flimsy.. I would have much rather bought the neat and tidy cottage playhouse, but we got this one as a gift.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

This house was a Christmas gift from the grandparents and it is the most-used toy in our household. We have an indoor playroom and that is where the house is located.

Another review stated that it was small inside and that is correct. However, that has never stunted the creative play of our 2 children. My daughter (6-yr old) and her friends usually hang out on top of the house and my son (3-yr old) and his friends play for hours in and around it. I am 5' 11' and every so often I squeeze myself into the house to play "house" with my son. There isn't much room to move around, but it never stopped our children and their friends from playing with it. The children love the doorbell, the opening and closing of the windows and hanging out on the porch.

Last week a friend visited with her 9, 7 and 5-yr old children. All 3 played the entire time with the house.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

I had originally purchased this house because I was lured by its attractive design. After putting it together (a difficult task as I could barely fit inside -and I'm only 5'4", 120 lbs)I was really disappointed and wished I had listened to the other reviewer who had said it was too small. My 18 month old loved it, but her 7 year old brother had no room to play with her inside, no room for a single small chair, nothing! I went to the hassle of taking it apart and returning it -we got the storybook playhouse instead and we are all so happy! A bit more expensive but oh so well worth it! I just couldn't keep a house my little girl would likely not fit in past the age of 2 and a half. Don't waste your money just because its cute on the outside!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:

there is no inside floor and the porch floor sticks out inside and children can trip over it coming out of the house. Plus the porch takes up alot of space that I think they would get more fun out of the extra room inside.

needed extra hands to hold and align pieces to put together, electric screwdriver a must, you have to be small enough to fit inside to put screws in properly... watching the children enjoy this was worth it!
